The gala evening was held at The Savoy Theatre in the capital's West End, with dozens of famous faces taking to the red carpet to pose for pictures before they headed inside to watch the performance, which features stars such as Amber Davies, Bonnie Langford, Natalie McQueen, Brian Conley and Caroline Sheen.
Taking centre stage as the guests put their best outfit's on for the premiere of her West End musical, Dolly Parton oozed glamour in a rhinestone embellished white dress, clear high heels and her signature hair do.
The 73-year-old country superstar, who starred in the 1980 ovie, arrived in the UK a few days ago to visit the 9 To 5 cast and see them perform on their opening night.
Joining Dolly for a photo on the red carpet, Kylie Minogue, 50, looked stunning in a floor length white and blue dress, with her hair in loose curls and light makeup.
Kylie was accompanied by her pal, Luke Evans, 39, who looked dapper in a black blazer and waistcoat that he had teamed with denim jeans and boots.
Louise Redknapp, 44, also looked elegant in a black blazer dress as she turned up to cheer on her co-stars on the opening night.
The night will in no doubt be bittersweet for Louise, who was forced to temporarily pull out of the show following a horror fall last month.
Other celebrities in attendance included Louisa Lytton, Les Denis and Claire Nicholson, Jason Manford, Katya Jones, Bruno Tonioli, Anthea Turner, Gloria Hunniford, Stephen Way.
Olivia Attwood, Ferne McCann and Samira Mighty were also on hand to support their reality star pal Amber Davies as she made her West End debut this evening.
Taking to Instagram to cheer on her Love Island best friend, Olivia, 27, shared a video with Ferne, 28, as she waited in the audience for the show to begin.
"Double parked, waiting for our Amber D," Olivia announced to her fans.
According to the Sun's bizarre column, who reviewed the performance earlier this evening, Amber Davies, 22, who plays Judy Bernly, was more than qualified to take on country queen Dolly Parton's hit musical 9 To 5.
The Sun's Bizarre column reported: "But if there was any doubts, and there were, that the reality star had the vocal skill to take on hulking heartache ballads then last night's star studded first performance proved them all wrong.
"Her superb voice and excellent comic timing left the audience stunned and earned her a place alongside seasoned West End pros."
Directed by Jeff Calhoun, 9 to 5: The Musical will run from January 28 to August 31, 2019.
The film centres on three female employees who hatch a plan to turn the tables on their sexist supervisor before things are complicated when the CEO visits their office.
